Programmable violator alerts Our radar speed signs offer users the ability to choose from multiple light flashing speeds to alert speeders yes yes
Community Friendly Speed humps—often the knee-jerk response to slow speeding drivers—also slow the response of emergency vehicles, add wear and tear to vehicles, increase traffic noise in neighborhoods and communities and can cause pain to the elderly and those with physical ailments yes yes
Portable designs Our battery powered radar sign offers unmatched versatility. The sign can be mounted on thousands of existing poles where speed trailers cannot be safely used. The locking mount bracket provides security for the sign and allows for a 15-second mounting process. The same radar sign can be used on trailer-hitch mounts and our Mobile Patrol stand. yes yes

  • Pre-fabricated form for pouring concrete pole base
  • Extended third-year warranty
  • School zone safety package available with flashing beacons

Scientifically Proven:

  • An independent speed study conducted by the City of Bellevue [Wash.] Transportation Department at ten locations—where radar speed signs had been installed for six or more years—found that the signs’ effectiveness continued to increase over time: 60 percent of drivers reduced speed by 10 mph.
  • Radarsign data from Alpharetta, Ga. confirms a more than 25 percent drop in speeding drivers in weeks one and 109, more than two years after installation.
